In an interview this morning on CNN, White House press secretary Jen Psaki reminded everyone that for some unexplained reason, Vladimir Putin keeps invading Ukraine when Joe Biden is in office, first as Vice President and now as President:

“You know, I was at the State Department. The President was the Vice President the last time Russia invaded Ukraine. This is a pattern of horror from this present, from President Putin and from the cronies around him.”

“Not great messaging” from the woman whose job it is to, you know, get the White House message across:

Reminding people that a top adversary has taken advantage of your boss not just once, but twice, is…not great messaging. #Ukraine https://t.co/Zj7l6T9zZN

Thanks for the reminder, Jen!

In case you weren’t aware of the way adversaries have consistently taken advantage of Joe Biden’s weakness. https://t.co/qJODNF2fiG
